Amazon UK have added some more great SSD deals to theirGaming Week saletoday, with new low prices to be found on three of Samsung’sbest SSDs for gaming. Chief among them is the 1TB860 Qvo, Samsung’s budget-friendly high capacity SSD that’s dropped to a record low of just £70, making it almost as good as yesterday’s (sadly now defunct)Crucial MX500 deal.
The Samsung 860 Qvo is a great SATA SSD, offering fast read and write speeds without costing an absolute fortune like a lot of other 1TB drives out there at the moment. The reason behind its low price is that it uses a slightly different type of storage cell tech to Samsung’s even nippier 860 Evo drive, but its performance is still top notch. In fact, in my benchmark tests, the 860 Qvo actually came in with faster write speeds than its Evo counterpart, all at a much lower cost. It’s a great value drive, and today’s new record low price makes it an even greater buy than ever before.
Samsung 860 Qvo (1TB) - £70 from Amazon UK (down from £98)
Samsung 870 Qvo (1TB) - £78 from Amazon UK (down from £85)
Finally, Amazon have also dropped the price of the excellentSamsung 970 Evo Plus, too. This NVMe drive is much faster than either of the company’s Qvo drives, and it’s one of the best NVMe SSDs around. You’ll need a compatible motherboard to take advantage of it, as it uses an M.2 slot rather than one of your motherboard’s SATA drives, but most modern motherboards should have at least one of these M.2 slots, if not more.
Samsung 970 Evo Plus (500GB) - £63 from Amazon UK (down from £72)
Today’s price for the 500GB 970 Evo Plus beats what it cost during last year’s Prime Day sale, too, where it fell to £74 on a brief lightning deal. It’s also better than last year’s Black Friday sale price, too, where it fell to £70 at the end of November, making it a great time to pick one up.
